Friends of Palm Beach is a 501(c)3 organization. We clean the beaches of Palm Beach daily as it’s the easternmost point in Florida and closest to the Atlantic’s Gulfstream and is impacted by an abundance of marine debris washing ashore. We remove over 30,000 pounds of incoming plastics, trash and unnatural debris annually and educate the community on the effects of plastics on our environment, marine life and our health. We hire individuals from local social impact agencies to help give independence to aged-out foster youth and the homeless. As the adverse effects of plastics on our health continue to grow, we host monthly volunteer events to educate and inspire the local community to be a part of protecting their own health and the health of our environment.
